MCAS Miramar Air Show 2019
Made my first visit to The Miramar air show with some of you today. Wow! The 3-day air fest in San Diego has been held annually since 1953.
One word describes it…. UNBELIEVABLE! Be sure to add it to your bucket list – it’s unforgettable when the Blue Angels pilots fly over your head at it near mach speed!
Here are a few of my favorite snaps from today.
I had a dream about a Lamborghini…
I had this crazy dream last night that I spent a day in July hangin’ with a bunch of talented photographers admiring Jay Leno’s Lamborghini Muira while he talked cars with us. When I woke up, I realized it wasn’t a dream… it was a flashback…
The VW Microbus
Spotted this beautiful VW Microbus on a visit to Porsche Palm Springs.

The Douglas C-124C Globemaster II
Built by Douglas Aircraft, this Globemaster II was one of 447 built, and was the largest aircraft in use by the U.S. Air Force at the time. It carried over 200 passengers or large cargos that could not fit in other aircraft.
The Globemaster II entered service in 1950 and remained in use into the 1970s. The C-124C version shown here held more powerful engines, weather radar and improved de-iceing equipment.
Scottsdale Airport
Flashback to our first offices at the Scottsdale Airport. A lot of great things by some incredible and talented people were created in this building!
Music on my Mind.

Herb Alpert, Kwakiutl, & Sunnylands
We made a stop at Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage, California this morning to see an exhibition of Herb Alpert’s amazing art – from painting to sculpture – as part of “Reach for the Sky: Tradition + Inspiration”.
The exhibition blends the art by three generations of the Hunt family, members of the Kwakiutl tribe of British Columbia, Canada — brightly-colored totem poles, ceremonial masks, and wall plaques — with Alpert’s contemporary paintings and vertical, abstract bronze sculptures.
For all you kids out there…. Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass was a popular band in the 1960s that your parents (and grandparents) liked to listen to. Cameras weren’t allowed into the exhibition, so I snapped this vintage-style photo of the exterior of Sunnylands to help remember the experience.
The 200-acre property was owned by Walter and Leonore Annenberg as their private winter retreat beginning in 1966. Today, the estate is managed by the Annenberg Foundation. It’s a cool place to visit when you’re in the neighborhood.
